And this, exactly, is why I'm interested in this functionality. The
bridge(4) only works with interfaces of "similar enough" framing and I'd
like to bridge two ethernet segments which are located on either coast of
the US. GRE might work, but has MTU issues and requires a more complex
setup.
So, if I take Frank's if_hub and incorporate it into an if_tap.c in
the source tree, will someone integrate it for me?
